The Snow Goose

Paul Gallico

The Snow Goose follows Philip Rhayader, a reclusive, disfigured artist living in a lonely Essex lighthouse, whose world changes when young Fritha brings him an injured bird. Over years of migrations, their quiet bond deepens, leading to a final, selfless journey during the Dunkirk evacuation.

The book is in good condition, tightly bound. Generally clean, free of markings and foxing. The dust jacket is worn to the extremities with a small open tear on the rear, taped on the back.
